Persistence Record limit

Hi,

 

 

A customer would like to limit source IP address load balance to a member. I knew BIGIP only can set connection limit based on VS or Member. Is there anyway to limit number Source IP address persistence record per Member ? Any iRule "command" can help ? I found there are number of command related to "persistence" like Profile and lb iRule command, but it seems they can not report any persist record status.

 

 

Thanks

    I'm a little unclear on this one.

     

     

    Are you trying to limit the number of connections per IP address to each pool member?

     

     

    If so, there's an example of how to do this in the Docs & Tips section:

    Or are you actually trying to limit the number of different IP addresses that can create a connection to each node?

     

     

    This would be similar logic, but I don't have an example of that readily available.

    Hi, Colin

     

     

    The idea is number of Client IP address connected to member server. For example, each server limit to serve 1000 client IP address, there is no neccessary to limit the total TCP connection. The idea is come from how we can limit the number of Real Internet User logon to customer Application/Database, and simple persistence is used.

     

     

    Thanks
